| Transparent Ultra or Super? I’ve had a lot of Transparent cables over the years, along with many others, so my experience is large. Just got the Gen 5 Plus bi wires and Balanced Interconnects. They are simply astounding cables by any measure. So much unforced detail, dyna... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Does not compute...not if great music is the goal and the cost is that low! Buy more music silly 😜 | |
| The Science of Cables That’s the exciting news...pricing was reasonable compared to what garbage is sold for many multiples higher! For $1800 I received beautifully made 12ft bi wire speaker cables with customized connectors and a pair of Balanced Interconnects. I’ve... | |
| The Science of Cables After installing some new Transparent Gen 5 Plus cabling in my system, I can’t help but smile and laugh at the contortions and mental gymnastics many audiophiles put themselves through, attempting to find that one special way to connect their comp... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Try the Anticables 3.1 Reference PC $330 with 30 day returns. It eliminates the DIY Syndrome and slays almost any other PC available. If it’s results and music that matter most...not self inflicted pain. | |
| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? Got a pair of JBL 4429’s on a lark from MD (60 day trial). Completely made me wonder why I wasted so much time and money on all the uber expensive transducers and gear I’ve owned in the past. They just sound so much more like actual music than m... | |

| Doing the Power Cord Thing Some people are masochistic. They enjoy the sweet hell of their creation and there’s no one gonna tell them any different. Enjoy! | |
| The Science of Cables I’d have to disagree Bo, based on owning a tremendous amount of equipment from many different manufacturers...from all tube designs to all SS with many different cable designs. Silver just doesn’t sound as natural. It can artificially add accent... | |
| The Science of Cables Alrighty then...IMHO and substantial experience, I have achieved my best results with either Transparent Cables or MIT. Their superiority really becomes apparent when you compare them to other various cable manufacturers offerings in your own sys... | |
| The Science of Cables Had the new Audioquest stuff on trial...not bad, but any of their cables with all silver just sound hard to my ears. Just passed minimum break in time for my Transparent Plus loom Gen 5....oh boy, the whole room is energized with dynamics and a f... | |
| The Science of Cables Anyway, revisited some of my favorite cables over the last 4 decades, including one newcomer; MIT, Transparent, Audioquest and Anticables. For my current setup, I have narrowed it down to Transparent and Anticables. They all have their virtues ... | |
| The Science of Cables I think Bo likes Audioquest a little bit or am I reading into his thesis too much? | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing I have had $4000 power cords and $330 power cords. Equipment dependent ultimately, but the Anticables 3.1 Reference is so damn good...it just let’s my amp do it’s best with clarity, dynamics and extension beyond reproach plus exquisite tone. I pre... | |
| Lost all hearing in one ear, is it worth upgrading speakers? Perhaps if you combine video with music it will enhance the enjoyment by engaging you visual acoustic senses, reducing your focus on monaural limitation. |
